'Why is Guardiola letting Sancho go?' - Matthaus was shocked by Dortmund diamond's Man City exit
Oct 19, 2021
The German legend can still remember the first time he saw the England winger in action and was stunned when he was allowed to leave the Etihad
Lothar Matthaus was shocked by Jadon Sancho's move from Manchester City to Dortmund in 2017, which shows that he can't believe Guardiola is stepping down as an obvious "great player".
Sancho initially moved to Signal Iduna Park for 8 million pounds ($ 9.75 million), and previously rejected Etihad's contract offer due to alleged disputes over guaranteed game time.
Guardiola has since claimed that Manchester City did their best to persuade Sancho to stay, but the winger thought he would get more first-team opportunities elsewhere.
However, when he left, Matt House only knew that Manchester City was losing an outstanding talent. This was the first time he caught his attention in the Under-17 Champions League game between England and Norway.
He explained: "When I was watching the ball in the gym, I stopped training and called a friend of mine who asked me: 'Who is the left-wing Englishman?'"
"My friend told me, 'His name is Sancho and he plays for Manchester City. I thought" Wow! He is an excellent player and he will have an excellent career. "And then, six months later, he signed Dortmund, I was thinking," How can Guardiola put down this great player? " "
"I didn't understand at the time because I knew that Guardiola had a good vision of young talent. Sancho had speed, assists, scored goals and had been running. Of course, he didn't work hard on the defensive end at the time, but he No; young players are never perfect.
"But I saw his talent, so I'm very happy that he went to Dortmund. It was helpful for his development. Maybe he will return to England, but I know Dortmund will ask for a lot of money for this diamond.
"He is very good, we like him in the Bundesliga. He is one of the best things we get from England! He is a good ambassador for the Bundesliga; he is young and confident. #aclotzone
"He still has a contract and I hope Dortmund will make every effort to keep him in the league for another year or two."
